Prague-bound Stargate fans received disappointing news this week: Amanda Tapping, the actress celebrated for her role as Samantha Carter, will no longer be attending Comic Con Prague in 2026.
Tapping’s Directing Commitments Ground Her in Prague
Tapping, initially announced as the convention’s first guest, explained in a recent video that her directing duties on the third season of Murder in a Small Town will keep her occupied through mid-June, making the trip to Prague impossible. The news comes after organizers had already paused sales of autograph and photo opportunities with Tapping, anticipating a potential scheduling conflict.
Future Appearances Unlikely, Brno a Possibility
Organizers have also indicated that Tapping’s work commitments will prevent her from attending Comic Con Prague in 2027. However, there’s a glimmer of hope for Czech fans: discussions are underway to potentially bring Tapping to the convention’s smaller event in Brno.
What is Comic Con Prague? It’s a popular event in the Czech Republic, attracting fans of sci-fi, fantasy, video games, comics, and more, with celebrity guests and immersive experiences.
Comic Con Prague Still Promises a Stellar Lineup
Despite Tapping’s absence, Comic Con Prague 2026 is shaping up to be a significant event. The convention, scheduled for March 13th to 15th, 2026 at the O2 Universe in Prague, already boasts an impressive guest list including Giancarlo Esposito (known for The Mandalorian and Breaking Bad), Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings), Rick Cosnett (The Flash), Iain Glen (Game of Thrones), Michael Winslow (Police Academy), and David Anders (Heroes). Several Stargate actors have visited the Czech Republic in recent years, and organizers are working to secure additional guests to fill the void left by Tapping’s cancellation.
